Total Oxidation Treatment Plants
In Civiltrek Ingeniería we develop projects of total oxidation treatment plants, compact wastewater treatment systems especially suitable for isolated houses, small urbanizations, tourist facilities or activities located in areas without connection to the municipal sewage network.
These systems allow a complete biological treatment of wastewater, ensuring proper purification before discharge or reuse, in accordance with current environmental regulations.
Our technical team is responsible for the sizing of the installation, the design of the treatment system and the drafting of the technical project, ensuring that the treatment plant is adapted to the real needs of use and the flow generated.
In Civiltrek Ingeniería we prepare complete technical projects and advise during the process of administrative processing and authorization of the treatment system.

Frequently Asked Questions:
When is it mandatory to install a total oxidation treatment plant in the Marina Alta?
In general terms, this type of system is necessary when the building is located more than 100 meters from a public sewage network, which is quite common in plots on rural land or scattered urbanizations in the Marina Alta.
In these cases, it is neither feasible nor legal to evacuate wastewater directly, so it is mandatory to implement an autonomous treatment system to ensure that the discharge complies with the regulations.
What exactly is a total oxidation scrubber and how does it work?
It is a compact wastewater treatment system that uses biological processes to treat water prior to discharge.
It works through the action of bacteria that decompose organic matter in the presence of oxygen (hence the term “oxidation”). The process includes several phases: decanting, aeration and clarification.
The result is treated water that can be discharged into the ground under controlled conditions, complying with legal requirements.
What technical aspects should be taken into account when installing this type of system?
One of the most important points is the sizing according to the number of users or actual use (habitual residence, second home, etc.).
It is also key to study the land where the discharge will be made: permeability, water table and distance to buildings or plot boundaries.
Another fundamental aspect is maintenance. Although they are relatively self-contained systems, they require periodic checks to ensure proper operation.
A poorly maintained system can fail to debug properly without it being obvious to the naked eye.What happens if the soil does not allow the treated water to be discharged?
In those cases where the soil does not have sufficient filtration capacity (e.g. clay soils or high water table), direct discharge is not feasible.
In these situations, it is necessary to resort to alternative solutions such as sealed tanks, where wastewater is stored and must be periodically removed by an authorized manager.
This implies a higher maintenance cost and ongoing management, so it is a key aspect to be analyzed before considering any project.
What maintenance does a total oxidation treatment plant require?
Although they are automatic systems, they require periodic maintenance to ensure their correct operation.
This includes the revision of equipment (blowers, pumps), control of the biological process and removal of accumulated sludge.
Poor maintenance can cause the system to stop purifying correctly, generating environmental problems and possible penalties.
What permits or authorizations are required for installation?
In addition to the technical justification within the project, if the dwelling is located on rural land, it is necessary to obtain authorization for the discharge from the corresponding Hydrographic Confederation (in this area, the Júcar Hydrographic Confederation).
This body regulates any discharge into the ground or into a watercourse, even when the water has been previously treated by a wastewater treatment plant. Therefore, it is not enough to install the system: it is necessary to demonstrate that the discharge complies with the environmental and technical requirements.
Depending on the case, other agencies may also be involved or additional reports may be required at the municipal level.
Correctly resolving this point before executing the installation is fundamental, since unauthorized discharge can result in penalties, the obligation to remove the system or even the paralysis of the use of the dwelling.
